Lanzarote- help!

DH and I fancy a cheapish holiday in May and the only location at that time of year with reasonable temperatures and flight times appears to be the Canary Islands. This holiday would just be us lazing around the pool and perhaps strolling around the local area as we don’t want to hire a car as we wouldn’t use it enough to justify the cost.

I’ve found a great deal for a Villa in Lanzarote (Puerto del Carmen) however, I’ve never been before because I have read horror stories about cockroaches which have always put me off going! 😱

I have anxiety anyway but I absolutely hate any form of insects and I just couldn’t cope if the Villa happened to be invaded by the little buggers! I know they can be found in most places (been to the Balearics and Italy a number of times and didn’t see any) but for some reason there seem to be more stories of them in the Canary Islands! 😕

So for those of you that have been or go regularly, what experiences have you had out there?

I can't remember ever seeing them and have been to the canaries quite a few times.

@NotAnotherNameChangePlease 🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant, that's given me the giggles.

Op, I saw no cockroaches in Playa Blanca. I saw lots in Tenerife though many years ago.

I used to live in Gran Canaria and saw plenty. My apartment was full of them. It was quite old though.
